Does the gasket get installed along the entire perimeter of a wall, as well window perimeter?

You basically seal around the perimeter, which includes windows. The goal is to keep stuff inside from leaking to the outside, so you need to seal any transition areas. Martin wrote an article some time back in Fine Homebuilding that has drawings that make this easier to see:
